Title: Re: Paris by night Post by: simon uk on January 01, 2010, 23:50:18 pm awesome car and beautiful City, but I wouldnt have risked a trip around the arc de triomphe, that is the most mental stretch of tarmac I have ever seen.

Title: Re: Paris by night Post by: madfrog on January 03, 2010, 22:11:16 pm Lanny , I am amazed by the whole car but especially by the engine, it reminds me of some racing Porsche engine ...
Big fun! madfrog Title: Re: Paris by night Post by: Lanny Hussey on January 03, 2010, 22:53:43 pm Cool..that combo would be even tighter with smaller venturis, it currently has 42's. Those heads are 46X40 Elim 2000's, all Chev valvetrain..big and strong :) I even snuck that engine through the smog test 2 years ago :) The gearstack helps too, 3.78/2.25/1.58/1.17/.89 on a 4.12. Glad you're happy!

But you really need to bolt on a gyro camera and go down the roots of Lelouch and fly by at the arc de triomphe with that mean sound ;) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UOngL0mEhgI&feature=fvw Exposition (wikipedia) The film shows an eight-minute drive through Paris in the early hours of the morning (05:30hrs), accompanied by sounds of a high-reving engine, gear changes and squealing tires. It starts in a tunnel of the Paris Périphérique at Porte Dauphine, with an onboard view from an unseen car exiting up on a ramp to Avenue Foch. Well-known landmarks such as the Arc de Triomphe, Opéra Garnier, and Place de la Concorde with its obelisk are passed, as well as the Champs-Élysées. Pedestrians are passed, pigeons sitting on the streets are scattered, red lights are ignored, one-way streets are driven up the wrong way, center lines are crossed, the car drives on the sidewalk to avoid a garbage truck. The car is never seen as the camera seems to be attached below the front bumper (judging from the relative positions of other cars, the visible headlight beam and the final shot when the car is parked in front of a curb on Montmartre, with the famous Sacré Cœur Basilica behind, and out of shot). Here, the driver gets out and embraces a young blonde woman as bells ring in the background, with the famous backdrop of Paris. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C%27était_un_rendez-vous (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C%27était_un_rendez-vous) Title: Re: Paris by night Post by: madfrog on January 04, 2010, 00:09:14 am Ah yes this one... but it's only cinema!
The car was Claude Lelouch own Mercedes sedan driven fast but not at full speed ( you can guess if you look closely at the speed difference with the other cars) The film was then "accelerated" and the engine sound from a Ferrari and tyre sqealing where added... still it was done in only one sequence and all what you see happened but not at full speed. The truth about it was revealed by Lelouch himself on a TV show not so long ago. Nevertheless it is a good idea and we should do it one summer night, maybe in convoy... madfrog Title: Re: Paris by night Post by: Bruce on January 04, 2010, 00:35:19 am The film was then "accelerated" and the engine sound from a Ferrari and tyre sqealing where added...

Title: Re: Paris by night Post by: rick m on January 04, 2010, 20:47:42 pm What an awesome place to cruise. Just seeing the pictures makes me want to visit France. Love the old world architecture and historical value of all European towns. Of course, the Ex-Lanny 67 makes it all very cool too.
